PRIIPs Regulation Key Information Document

Under the EU’s Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products (‘PRIIPs’) Regulation, ICG Enterprise Trust is required to produce a Key Information Document (‘KID’) setting out prescribed information regarding its ordinary shares.

The performance and costs disclosures contained in the KID and the methods by which they are calculated are strictly prescribed by the PRIIPs Regulation and differ from the ways in which ICG Enterprise presents its own financial information. It may therefore be helpful to investors to understand these differences:

Performance

The purpose of a KID is to provide retail investors with standardised illustrations of theoretical risk and returns to enable the comparison of different investment products available across a very wide range of financial sectors.

• In the case of investment trust companies, these illustrations are based on daily share prices with dividends reinvested (“Total Shareholder Return”) over the previous five years, which are then projected forward over various time periods and adjusted for risk.
• The KID presents stress, unfavourable, moderate and favourable performance scenarios which are derived from Total Shareholder Return.
• In recent years, equity markets have however experienced a period high returns and low volatility, which under the KID’s prescribed methodology could lead to projections which are potentially over-optimistic. We would therefore remind investors that past performance is not a reliable guide to future returns.
• ICG Enterprise Trust measures its actual performance by its net asset value per share total return (‘NAVTR’). The NAVTR includes all of the components of the Company’s performance. We believe it remains the most appropriate measure of the success of the investment strategy and how the portfolio is managed and will continue to report our actual performance on this basis.
• The Total Shareholder Return will differ from the NAVTR depending on the movement in the share price discount to NAV per share.
• Further information on the Company’s NAVTR can be found in the Results and Reports.

Costs

• The KID presents a table of costs which are not included within ICG Enterprise Trust’s ongoing charges ratio, a measure of expenses prepared in accordance with guidance published by the Association of Investment Companies and broader market practice.
